==== Egalitarian ethos ====
Grove asserted that knowledge power surpasses positional power. He ingrained that philosophy in the workplace culture at Intel. "We argue about issues, not the people who advocate them."<ref name=Tedlow>{{cite web |url=https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/the-history-and-influence-of-andy-grove |title=The History and Influence of Andy Grove |last=Silverthorne |first=Sean |date=October 29, 2006 |website=Harvard Business School |access-date=February 5, 2023}}</ref> As a testament to this ethos, there were no executive perks at Intel, including special dining rooms, washrooms, or parking spots.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/great-leaders-work-in-cubicles/ |title=Great Leaders Work in Cubicles |last=Tobak |first=Steve |date=June 18, 2010 |website=CBSnews.com |publisher=CBS News |access-date=February 5, 2023}}</ref> Grove's office was a standard {{convert|8|by|9|ft|abbr=on}} cubicle, reflecting his personal preference for an egalitarian atmosphere. Grove disliked "mahogany-paneled corner offices." "I've been living in cubicles since 1978—and it hasn't hurt a whole lot."<ref name=IW/> This accessibility made his workspace open to anyone who walked by.

This workplace culture is a reflection of Grove's personal life, where he was known for his modesty and lack of pretense. He lived simply, without luxury cars or private planes, and was described by venture capitalist [[Arthur Rock]] as having "no airs."<ref name=Crown/>
